I was given this recently and wishing I had the recipe for the starter-thanks. I have passed it on to my Mom and neighbors and they all enjoyed it very much. I was kind of dreading it hanging around my kitchen, but I have acutually enjoyed the whole experience very much.

Thank you! I was given this starter years ago and after passing it around friends for nearly a year, the chain was finally broken. We all regretted it. Lots of new friends were made and lots of delicious bread was baked. Thank you again!

I made some Amish Friendship bread when I was 13 years old and I loved it. I was very happy to find a started recipe and now I have a question. I added the sugar, flour, and milk on the 6th day and my bag is no longer making bubbles. Did I do something wrong or is this normal. Before I added it the bag was fermenting and making bubbles and now it has stopped. I would appreciate any help. Thank You

I'm just curious what happens if you forget to add the ingredients on the specified day or does the batter go bad if you don't bake the batter in 10 days.

The flavor of the bread is kind of bland as is. Adding bananas, carrots or zuchini and walnuts would greatly improve it. It's fun starting this recipe and then passing it along to friends.

Sounds great but I need some answers before getting started .... if after 10 days you are going to start over with 1 cup of the starter (stir day 2-4, add ingredients day 5 etc) do you leave this 1 cup of starter at room temperature or follow the steps and leave it in the refrigerator? And how long will the starter store in the refrigerator before you need to stir it, use it or freeze it? As a newbie sourdough maker I thank you for any advice.

I am so glad I finally found this recipe, had it as a child and can't wait to start on it again. I remember keeping it in plastic "Ziploc" bags and just kneading it in the bag, less mess and easier to store, etc. I am going to try that with this recipe, should work out fine. I will update you all if it doesn't

Thanks so much for this recipe. I haven't had this bread for years....It is just like I remember it!! It is definately worth the wait. And it is so versatile, you can change it up and make the bread a hundred different ways!

Great recipe, made a good batch of friendshop bread with this starter, it takes time, but its worth it. I had this once when I was a little girl, and I loved it. But the recipe was gone, so when I found this I set my mind to make it, I was not dissapointed, Thanks!

Great starter. I think I had a total of 6 cups when day 10 came around, so I had more than the recipe says, but that's even better! More to pass out and some left over to start the process all over again!

Just like what I got before when a friend passed it down to me. Makes the BEST lemon poppy seed bread (or cake)!

This was great! I still have tons in my freezer. We can't finish two loaves of bread before it goes bad, so I always send some to work with my husband and it's always a hit. I'm oing to give this recipe to my mother when I visit this summer, she's been looking for it for a while as well. (: Thanks so much!

I've been searching for this recipe for years! Thank you for sharing. I've given this out to my family and co-workers and we've all enjoyed baking the bread. I would suggest mixing the flour and sugar together before you add to the starter or else you'll end up with clumps.

I am sooo happy that I finally found this recipe!! Many years ago a friend of mine gave me a starter and we had such a good time making many different kinds of breads. But then I moved away and I never did get the starter part from my friend and she passed away a year after I moved. Now I make at least 2 different breads every week and pass the starters to other friends and then we share with each the different kinds of breads we have made. This is such fun and easy to make. They make great gifts for the holidays as well.
